Background

When life first began on Earth, how exactly did it work? How did the first microbes interact with the legendary primordial soup? These kinds of basic questions drive the advanced microbiology and biogeochemistry research of Jason Raymond at UC Merced.

Raymond, who earned his Ph.D. at Arizona State University, can comment for journalists about the origins and evolution of life; evolutionary biology and genomics; and the ecology and biogeochemistry of hot springs.
